Claims
- 1. An ac generator for a vehicle, comprising:a rotor; a stator disposed around said rotor, said stator having a cylindrical stator core and a pair of multi-phase stator windings disuosed regularly in said cylindrical core to form coil ends at opposite axial ends of said stator core, and a frame for supporting said rotor and said stator; wherein one of said pair of multi-phase stator windings has a first group of vhase windings and a plurality of output lead wires extending outward from a first circumferential range of the coil end thereof, and the other multi-vhase stator winding has a second aroun of uhase windings and a niurality of outout lead wires extending outward from a second circumferential range of the coil end thereof; each of said first and second circumferential ranges is about 90 degrees in mechanical angle and disposed adjacent to another without overlapping so that each of the outout lead wires can have enouah circumferential snace to be connected with ease.
- 2. The ac generator as claimed in claim 1,wherein each of said pair of said multi-phase stator windings comprises three phase-windings.
- 3. The ac generator as claimed in claim 2,wherein neutral wires extend from respective ends of said three phase-windings of each of said stator windings are connected together to form a neutral point of a star-connected winding, and output wires extend from respective other ends of said three phase-windings.
- 4. The ac generator as claimed in claim 3,wherein said neutral point is disposed near a coil end of said stator windings.
- 5. The ac generator as claimed in claim 3, those of said neutral wires of one of said stator windings are spaced apart from others of said neutral wires of the other stator winding.
